(CNN) - A former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama and one time strong supporter of President Barack Obama will campaign for Mitt Romney Wednesday.
A Romney campaign aide confirms to CNN that Artur Davis will stump for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in the battleground state of Virginia.

And what does that say about Mittens when a communist supporter is now backing him? Come on people!
To Dumbocraps, it’s called “saving my useless hide during an election year when my p-resident is bound to lose”.
But parties change. As I told a reporter last week, this is not Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party (and he knows that even if he can’t say it). If you have read this blog, and taken the time to look for a theme in the thousands of words (or free opposition research) contained in it, you see the imperfect musings of a voter who describes growth as a deeper problem than exaggerated inequality; who wants to radically reform the way we educate our children; who despises identity politics and the practice of speaking for groups and not one national interest; who knows that our current course on entitlements will eventually break our solvency and cause us to break promises to our most vulnerable—that is, if we don’t start the hard work of fixing it.
What’s it say about you... staying home or voting some no-account third party? Who’s the most moral person running anyway?... let us know if you find him or her...
Ever hear the old saying “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”?
Awhile back I was chatting with a friend that is a Democrat and has been for years. I asked what he was doing and he said “I’m on the jet going to a presidential debate”. I said “What? There are only Republican debates!” He said “Yes, I know. I have one of the candidates with me who I have just given (insert big dollars here) to.
“What?” I said. You are kidding me. He said “no” but I did not really believe him until later that night when I saw him on the front row of the Republican debate that was being held that night. Since then he has given a lot of money to local Republican candidates.
Why is he doing this? He fears for the future of the country. Because of Obama one of the biggest Democrats and the ONLY person I have ever met that could be president themselves has totally left the Democratic party.
I firmly believe that Obama is going to get stomped. And I believe that he knows it.
you gonna vote for the other guy ?
Artur Davis is no Communist. He was an honest Democrat. He's now a "born-again Republican" -- kinda like Ronald Reagan.
And all Obama got was a lousy speech from Jon Huntsman at the DNC convention.
I know it’s a cliche, but......
(democ)Rats deserting a sinking ship?
I agree on his genuine change. I live in his old Congressional district and I saw his wheels of change grinding a few years ago before he gave up his seat. It certainly came to a head during the debates about Obamacare. He was totally against it in a district that he could never win again as an anti-Obama. That’s why he chose not to run for re-election. I certainly would never run here. I might get 15% of the vote on a sunny day. The other 85% are die-die-die-hard liberals.
I am not surprised at all about him stumping for the Republicans now. I don’t actually know him personally, but I can pretty much...all but guarantee that he’s a genuine convert. Although it’s time that will tell.
I went to my friends wedding last weekend in Malibu. Her father is a world renown physician. The Einstein of stem cell research. Emmy award winning medical consultant for film and television. There aren’t enough accolades to describe this guys work in treating illness. Huge Obama and democrat contributor - former contributor to the democrats and Obama. He and many of his friends are backing Romney now and guess why?
He is convinced that repeal of Obamacare will save millions of lives, trillions of dollars and the complete and utter financial meltdown of the western world.
I’m with Jim Robinson on Romney. You can’t vote in another socialist to counter the one already in office. My efforts will be spent on finding and voting for conservative congress critters and senators.
I’m with Jim Robinson on Romney.
I’m with Jim Robinson on Romney.
Bull Crap!
